    Does anyone know what ports arcanum uses, and if not is there anyway to track connection attempts on blocked ports in order to determine what ports the game is attempting to use?

    I have tried DMZing my host computer with no luck. I have never seen a working internet game of arcanum before.

    My other plan was to see if I could get internet play working by hosting a LAN game in conjuction with using BattleLAN, which is a packet forwarder that basically forwards traffic on LAN to an internet host using IP addresses that can be used for games such as Warcraft 3, however I have yet to try this for Arcanum.

    I am wondering if anyone in existence has actually played a multiplayer game of arcanum before, in the games current condition.

    Hate to break it to you, but no one plays Arcanum online. There was never more than a handful of people who did play it, and they've long since stopped.

    I also thought that it used WON for internet play.

    believe him mate...........many have tried to start some form of group to play at specified time/date in multi. try if you will..........some are interested, just dont play often enough or have the want to spend energy to set something up.

    I for one am willing to play...........pick a time. make it weekly, and if'n ppl show up, we play, if not.....oh well.

    hope this works out :/
